EOVK Level: Third level

Learning outcomes:

Qualification holders will be capable of carrying out independent research and of generating new knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering disciplines for the needs of Slovenian industry and for research institutions (autonomous research institutes and university institutes).
During the postgraduate programme students will master research methodology and develop the necessary skills to tackle scientific tasks either autonomously or as part of a group. The knowledge and experience gained will enable graduates of the master's programme to undertake autonomous research and development work and lead research tasks and projects at universities, autonomous research institutes and the institutes and development departments of industrial companies.

Assesment and completion:

Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

Progress:

In order to progress to the second year, students must complete course units totalling at least 45 credits.
